KWESST Just Up Listed to the Nasdaq Last Week. This is a Ground Floor Situation

_____

Hello Everyone,

We have another exciting Nasdaq profile for Monday’s session.

This is a company that just up listed from the OTC to the NASDAQ.

This is something that many companies talk about but few are able to accomplish.

Pull up KWE Immediately.

KWESST develops and commercializes breakthrough next-generation tactical systems that meet the requirements of security forces and personal defense for overmatch capability against adversaries. The company’s current portfolio of unique proprietary offerings include its unique non-lethal PARA OPSTM system with application across all segments of the non-lethal market, including law enforcement and personal defense. KWESST is also engaged in the digitization of tactical forces for shared situational awareness and targeting with its signature TASCS (Tactical and Situational Control System) for real-time awareness and targeting information from any source (including drones) streamed directly to users’ smart devices and weapons. Other KWESST products include counter-measures against threats such as electronic detection, lasers and drones. These include the PhantomTM electronic battlefield decoy system to mask the electromagnetic signature of friendly forces with decoy signatures at false locations to deceive and confuse adversaries; a Battlefield Laser Detection System to counter the growing threat of weaponized lasers against personnel; and, GhostNetTM, a developmental technology for neutralizing small hostile drones without collateral damage. These systems can operate stand-alone or integrate seamlessly with OEM products and battlefield management systems, and all come integrated with ATAK. The Company is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, with operations in Stafford, VA and representative offices in London, UK and Abu Dhabi, UAE. The common shares of KWESST trade on the TSXV under the symbol KWE.

The float on this one is just 72k on this one which is why we have seen a lot of action and some big double digit swings in the 3 sessions since it uplisted from the OTC to the Nasdaq.

KWE operates in 3 niche segments (Non-Lethal, Digitization, Counter-Threat)

PARA OPS

Non-lethal products for personal defense, public safety and close quarters combat simulation.

A next-generation replacement for most legacy systems on the market today.

A patent-pending (# 17/669,420), non-lethal low-energy cartridge-based system that fires from a dedicated device that can resemble a TV remote control or a flashlight depending on the proposed use.

Devices shoot only PARA OPS cartridges in three variants:

(1) solid polymer slug;

(2) inert colored powder, or

(3) a safe incapacitating pepper powder.

A replacement for systems on the market today that are either high-energy and can be lethal or are air-gun based that are complex and less reliable.

How it works and compares to high-energy cartridge systems and air guns

Low Energy Cartridge Case

Low energy actuator disc in rear
No gunpowder or compressed gas
Specifically configured interior mates with projectile to generate self-stabilizing spin for accuracy and distance
Simple manufacturing
Calibrated actuator well below the “lethal” threshold

Projectiles

Injection molded polymer
Pre-loaded into cartridge casings
Three payload variants: (1.) Solid slug. (2.) Inert colored powder. (3.) Incapacitating irritant pepper powder.

ARWEN

Non-lethal product line

Complementary acquisition, completed December 2021.
Iconic brand with established yet underexploited customer base of law enforcement in North America and overseas.
Used primarily for riot control and by police tactical teams during high-risk arrests against potentially armed violent persons vs. PARA OPS against unarmed aggressive persons.

Expected synergies

Market synergies – immediate access to law enforcement market for PARA OPS.
Technology synergies – PARA OPS can provide low-energy cartridge for ARWEN launchers.
Cost synergies – combined facilities and engineering.

Soldier Digitization

Focused on meeting the challenge of fully digitizing the ‘tactical edge’: those commanders, soldiers, operators, and sensor systems conducting dismounted operations at the company level and below.
Team Awareness Kit (TAK) as a foundational battle management building block.
Utilizes KWESST proprietary TASCS “Tactical And Situational Control System” software development toolset that enables sensor and effector integration with battle management software applications.
Chosen by General Dynamics Mission Systems – Canada (GDMS-C) to develop a showcase next-generation digitized soldier system.

COUNTER THREAT

The KWESST BLDS product line is lightweight, compact laser detection and warning capability for use by land forces at the “tactical edge”

Counters a proliferating threat environment – weaponized lasers, LRFs, laser target designators/illuminators/spotters

Laser source range and distance presentable through Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK)

KWESST Receives Contract Award to Integrate New Incident Command Centre and Ground Search and Rescue Application Into ATAK – KWESST

July 7, 2022 – Ottawa – KWESST Micro Systems Inc. (TSXV: KWE) (OTCQB: KWEMF) (FSE: 62U) (“KWESST” or the “Company”), a developer of next-generation tactical systems for military, security, and personal defense markets, today announced that it has been awarded a three-year contract by CounterCrisis Technology Inc. (“CC-T”) to design, develop, and implement a significant component of a national Ground Search and Rescue Incident Command System (GSAR ICS) for Public Safety Canada. Under the contract, KWESST and CC-Twill create a Search And Rescue (SAR) planning, operations management, and situational awareness service that incorporates a custom SAR plug-in application for ATAK. ATAK is increasingly the preferred software system throughout NATO for enabling real-time shared situational awareness.

“In partnership with CC-T, we are very pleased to have won this bid with Public Safety Canada, following an extensive competitive process,” said Rick Bowes, VP of Digitization and Counter-Threat Products at KWESST. “This is significant beyond the modest dollars involved since it further validates KWESST as the go-to company for integrated tactical level situational awareness information systems, including ATAK, for both military and public safety operations, and will showcase our capabilities to other potential customers. When soldiers and responders all have the same information in real time the result is a safer and more effective operation, whatever the mission.”
